Program Unit Funded Initiative (PUF)

Program Unit Funded Initiative (PUF) focuses on developing extensive early childhood readiness skills. It is designed for children aged between 2½ and 6 who have a diagnosed need in one or more areas.

The program focuses on developing communication, social, physical and emotional skills. Specific programming is tailored to the individual needs of the child.

Students succeed with a united effort from the child’s family, school staff and rehabilitation assistants. At-school support is supplemented with at-home support, so new skills are reinforced and students can move forward with their education.

PUF students are fully included in local preschools, Headstart programs and Kindergarten. They can also participate in special events and a gym and swim program.
